IREM Collection Volume 3 Launches Next Week

Alright, buckle up folks, ’cause there’s a wild mix of magic, machines, and mayhem hitting consoles next week, courtesy of ININ, Tozai Games, Irem, and those folks over at Strictly Limited Games. They’re dropping IREM Collection Volume 3 both digitally and physically. Excited much? Let’s dive in.

So, picture this — three fantasy shoot ’em ups straight from IREM’s legendary arcade archives. We got Mr. Heli (aka Battle Chopper), Mystic Riders, and Dragon Breed all packed into one neat bundle. The whole thing’s like a rollercoaster of pixelated chaos! Just saying.

Starting off with Mr. Heli… imagine a chopper with legs. Yup, you heard right. This little guy’s zooming through maps loaded with puzzles, hidden paths, and bosses that probably need their own zip code. Blasting its way through since 1987. Mining crystals, racking up cash — it’s all up for grabs.

And Mystic Riders? You’re soaring on broomsticks, dodging giant sky turtles, and flaming demons. Toss in some boomerang broom action for blocking projectiles. Mind you, you can team up with a buddy locally. Mark the wizard or Zeal the witch, take your pick. Magic meet mayhem, eh?

Lastly, there’s Dragon Breed – unleash your inner dragon rider on Bahamoot. Shield yourself from crazy danger while scorching what’s ahead. R-Type meets fantasy meets end-of-the-world vibes — with wings, of course.

Oh, quick side note — the collection’s bursting with features. Rapid-fire buttons, custom controls, quick save/load (because who’s got time for a game over?), display filters to relive the classic arcade look, and leaderboards to strut your high-score prowess. Plus, local 2-player co-op for Mystic Riders.

PS4Blog.net’s cooking up a review for IREM Collection Volume 3, so you might wanna stick around for that. Anyway, I should stop rambling — or should I? Ah, whatever, just keep your eyes peeled for this one.
